The Amazing World of Gumball is coming back for a new series, and it will be sharing the first look inside its production later this Summer! The Amazing World of Gumball is likely the standout animated series for Cartoon Network of the 2010s as it ran for six seasons and 240 episodes before it came to an end back in 2019. It was then announced that the franchise would be returning for a new series, but there have been many questions from fans of the original as to whether or not this would be a full reboot or a potential Season 7 of the series as many fans had wished.

“Gumball’s world is pretty run-of-the-mill. He’s chased around school by a T-Rex. He has a friend named Anton who’s a piece of toast. He’s got a crush on Penny, a peanut with antlers. His dad is a 6’4″ bunny. His mom works at a Rainbow Factory. And his brother is a goldfish named Darwin. Yup, everything looks perfectly normal here.”
